3.4        Experience of Assignee.  Such Assignee acknowledges and understands that (i) its investment in the Warrants and the Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk and (ii) nothing in the Transaction Documents or SEC Reports constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.   Such Assignee, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Such Assignee is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

3.5        Restricted Securities.  Such Assignee understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Assignee’s representations as expressed herein.  Such Assignee understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable United States federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Assignee must hold the Warrants and the Warrant Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.  Such Assignee acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Warrants or the Warrant Shares for resale except as provided under the Registration Rights Agreement.  Such Assignee further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Assignee’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

3.6        Legends.  Such Assignee understands that certificates representing the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and any securities issued in respect of or in exchange for the Warrant Shares may bear any one or more of the following legends: (a) any legend set forth in, or required by, the Stockholders’ Agreement; (b) any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended; and (c) the following legend:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

 

The Assignor acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Sections 3.1 – 3.6 shall not modify, amend or affect an Assignee’s right to rely on the Assignor’s or the Company's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
